New Albums: Kelela, Bully, The World is a Beautiful Place...

R&B SIREN KELELA has, at long last, announced her debut album, Take Me Apart. It’s out October 6. In a statement, Kelela said, “Despite it being a personal record, the politics of my identity informs how it sounds and how I choose to articulate my vulnerability and strength.” She continued, “I am a black woman, a second-generation Ethiopian-American, who grew up in the ’burbs listening to R&B, jazz and Björk. All of it comes out in one way or another.”
